Focus Groups progress
At the plenary, SG13 reviewed the progress to date of the FG NET2030 based on its progress report, TD243/PLEN. Per Appendix I of Recommendation ITU-T A.7, FG NET2030 forwarded to its parent group the draft output document "Representative use cases and key network requirements for Network 2030" (TD391/GEN). There were no objections for establishing a new work item Y.Supplement use cases and network requirements for Network 2030 "Representative use cases and network requirements for Network 2030" under Q2/13 (A.13 justification form may be found in TD 266-R1/PLEN).
SG13 noted the FG NET2030 progress report. |
FG ML5G reported its progress since the last SG13 meeting in TD241/PLEN. This progress report was noted by the meeting.
Coordination activities
Quantum communications related studies – CQ
Co-located meeting of Q16/13 and Q4/17 rapporteur groups took place on 5 March.
IMT-2020
Mentioned in the table above Supplement 59 to Y.3100 "IMT-2020 standardization roadmap", TD260/PLEN, represents a snapshot (as of March 2020) of the online ongoing JCA-IMT2020 project database on IMT-2020 standards roadmap.
Open Source community
TD416/GEN brings to the attention of the SG13 the contact information of the president of OSI (Open Source Initiative) as well as strong interest of this community in establishing liaison relationships with any relevant SGs, FGs, etc. in ITU. SG13 chairman invited Rapporteurs to propose potential areas of liaising work. The meeting noted this document.
Trustworthy networking roadmap
A draft new Supplement Y.supp.trust-roadmap "Standardization roadmap on Trustworthy Networking and Services including Quantum Enhanced Networks" was initiated at this meeting, TD396/WP3.
It provides the standardization roadmap on trustworthy networking and services including quantum enhanced networks. It breaks out as:
- landscape and related technical areas of trust technologies from an ITU-T perspective and
- collection of related standards and publications on trust technologies in standards development organizations.
Ad-hoc activities
The Ad-hoc on next study period (NSP Ad-hoc) led by SG13 Vice-chairman, Mr Yoshinori Goto, had five sessions during the March rapporteur group meetings. Report may be found in TD418/GEN. It lists the proposed Questions texts for 2021-2024 study period the way they stand for now. Discussions will continue.
A number of e-meetings are envisaged before the next SG13 meeting in July 2020.
Bridging Standardization Gap
Meeting participants noted the SG13RG-AFR meeting report (Abuja, Nigeria, 5 – 6 February 2020) in TD239/PLEN, and the outcomes of associated Regional Workshop for Africa on "Standardization of Future Networks towards building a better connected Africa" of 3 – 4 February 2020 at the same venue, TD392/GEN.
Revised Terms of Reference for the SG13RG-AFR
The meeting reviewed the good progress to date and continuation in the next study period of the SG13 regional group for Africa with the proposed revised Terms of Reference as appears in TD242/PLEN. This document has also a set of new priorities for the region that now includes the Future Computing and Data Processing, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence as applied to networks. The new priorities as well as revised Terms of Reference were agreed by the meeting.
New work
This meeting agreed 11 new work items, TD 266-R1/PLEN. Three new work item proposals from Q7/13 were deferred to July 2020 SG13 meeting as they each needed more elaboration. Rapporteur for Q1/13 requested more time for polishing the proposals for two new work items in his Question.
The new work item proposals, conditionally approved in October 2019, pending reply from the SG2, were approved. They are
- Supplement "Supplement on Network 2030 Services: Capabilities, performance and design of new communications services for the Network 2030 applications", Q2/13, TD249/PLEN
- Recommendation Y.SCid-fr "Requirements and Converged Framework of Self-Controlled Identity based on Blockchain", Q22/13, TD515/WP1
Outreach
The new ITU initiative called "ITU AI/ML in 5G Challenge: Applying Machine Learning in 5G networks" was presented to the meeting participants, TD419/PLEN. This activity was received with interest.
Future plans
An important number of interim meetings was agreed to (TD267-R1/PLEN). On top of that the NSP Ad-hoc will have several electronic meetings. Details will be announced on the dedicated mailing list.
Next meetings
The JCA-IMT2020 meeting will take place on 21 July 2020, 18:00 – 19:30 in Geneva, co-located with the SG13 meeting.
Next SG13 meeting will take place from 20 to 31 July 2020 in Geneva. In a worst case, SG13 meeting 20 – 31 July 2020 will run fully virtual
